Incredible hulk pasta

What do you get when you combine your love for pasta with nutrient dense, healthy ingredients? Introducing the incredible hulk pasta that not only tastes divine (of course), but too is loaded with 5mg or iron & 18g of protein!

 

Method:

1. Cook the pasta in salted water, as per the instructions on the box. 
2. Add the raw cashews and boiled water to a high-speed blender. Allow the cashews to sit and soak for 5 minutes to soften and then blitz.
3. Then add the soy milk, spring onion, spinach, nutritional yeast and garlic salt to taste. Blitz on high until a smooth and creamy texture forms. 
4. Once the pasta is cooked, add the sauce and mix to combine well.

 

Note

  • Whole wheat pasta, dry -  If you are clinically required to be strictly gluten-free, please swap the pasta for legume-based or gluten-free pasta.

  • Vitasoy soy milk -  If not using this brand, please ensure the milk is calcium-fortified and contains 120 mg of calcium per 100ml. Moreover, suppose you are allergic or prefer different plant-based alternatives. In that case, you can always use another type of milk, given it is calcium-fortified.

Nutritional Summary:

At Radiquel, we believe strict fixation on numbers is a reductionist view of nutrition and can potentially harm our relationship with food. Food is also so much more than just units of calories and macronutrients; it’s a chance to nourish our minds, bodies, and souls with whole and soul foods. However, we acknowledge nutritional panels’ educational value for some individuals and have provided them solely for educational purposes. Please utilise this information with the utmost care.

This nutritional information is given solely for recreational intent and is not recommended to displace any medical advice, nor is it necessarily precise. We approximate the nutritional information per the listed ingredients. As food products can always vary in size, brand and shape, and nutritional quantities can also change based on the plants' growth circumstances, the quality of the soil, the fruits' maturity, and other factors, the nutrition information that is provided is an approximation. Since these values are highly individualised and rely on a variety of variables, such as age, gender, and the amount of daily physical activity, we do not offer the percentage of the recommended daily value. Please calculate the nutritional information you need using the exact ingredients you used or seek a dietitian or clinical nutritionist to assist you, if you need.
